Optician nearly talked me out of them with the potential issues but when I got my 1st pair they were half price so I got the expensive ones. Not sure if that's why I was OK but never had any issues

I read my kindle fine I can make he text a bit bigger or lighten the screen. I can read my phone without too but it’s more of a challenge, it’s mostly for computers for work.

I’ve got books that I have been bought or ones I bought before reading a book was a problem and I’m struggling with those. It makes me sad my husband used to take photos of me in different places always with a book in my hand. He’s commented that he never sees me read now.

Maybe I try new varifocals as the optician said my distance vision has changed and would mean I could be ok seeing with them rather than better without.

when I had my 1st pair I was told try for 30 days and if I didn't get on then they would exchange and refund the difference

I was going to go back.to two pairs of glasses rather than varifocals this time.but optician talked me out of it and glad he did, plus he said I would need 3 pairs of glasses not too. I wear mine all the time and for running and cycling, they are reactive ones to.

We don't have a bath, and i am not a bath lover but really have been wanting a good long soak lately

I think they were ok at first pix I’ve had them about 4 years now I can read in them it’s distance so I still prefer to take them off. I also get sick of you need new prescription every 2 years it feels like a money making scheme than necessity. I only wear the contact for work and readers to do recipes etc but cheap ready readers which are probably not quite right neither.

I need to win the lottery. Replacement lenses that work forever would be my no 1 wishlist

Going back to my post on page 313, I probably didn’t make it clear that as I was voted NEWT of the day the previous day I was awarding Fleecy and her spotting bats as the winner yesterday.

Congratulations Fleecy :-)

Excellent, Pix. :)

About This Thread

starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
